BACKGROUND: Kentucky State University has had a history of providing various forms of compensation for elected student leaders, to include housing, food service, and stipend. Over the years, however, such compensation has been inconsistent, and has therefore caused a question of what type of compensation benefit should be provided.
SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ ACTIVITIES: It is proposed that the following become a standard compensatory benefit for the Student Government Association (SGA) President and Mr. and Miss Kentucky State University.
Students holding the aforementioned offices will be provided in-state tuition waivers.
Students holding the aforementioned offices will be provided a single room in one of the university residence halls.
Students holding the aforementioned offices will be provided with a standard university meal plan.
Students holding the aforementioned offices will be provided a clothing allowance of $500/semester.
Students holding the aforementioned offices must be in good academic standing and have zero balances of all fees and fines before the proposed compensation is approved.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS: Goal 1 – Enhance Student Enrollment, Improve Student Life and Engagement, and Improve Student Advising and Career Development.
